About Iron Mountains
The Iron Mountains are a rugged, heavily forested mountain range located in the northwest corner of Washington state. The range is characterized by steep, rocky peaks, deep glacial valleys, and numerous alpine lakes and tarns. The terrain is challenging, with steep, often exposed trails leading to the higher elevations. Geologically, the range is composed primarily of igneous and metamorphic rocks formed during the Tertiary period.
